CNN: Trump’s Iran agreement draws rare reproach from powerful Republicans
The preliminary deal would lift sanctions, free frozen Iranian assets and open a 60-day negotiation period, alarming Republicans over a proposed $300 billion reconstruction plan.
- President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a memorandum of understanding to begin 60 days of negotiations for a nuclear deal that includes Iran's commitment not to develop nuclear weapons but lacks enforcement mechanisms.
- The agreement involves ending the U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and issuing waivers for Iranian oil exports, causing concern among lawmakers about losing leverage and the potential for immediate lifting of sanctions.
- Republican senators criticized the $300 billion fund for Iran's reconstruction, fearing it could empower Iran's terrorism and military ambitions despite assurances that U.S. taxpayer money would not be used.
- Vice President J.D. Vance defended the deal as beneficial and urged trust in the process, while other senators expressed doubts about Iran's compliance and the deal's overall consequences.
